Croquis drawing is quick and sketchy drawing of usually a live nude model. Croquis drawings are usually made in a few minutes, after which the model changes pose or leaves and another croquis is drawn. The word croquis comes from French and means simply "sketch". In the clothing design, a croquis is an outline silhouette, for use by a designer.[1]
After the initial sketch, croquis drawing can be used as a foundation for another work of art such as a painting or may be used as a work of art itself.
